What running is to me 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

HELLO THERE 👋! I’m sure you are all staying safe and well 💕. I wanted to share what running is to me 😃.

Now, I’m not the type of runner who just completely loves running and everything about it. I have struggled with running a bit to be honest 😂. Ever since last year when I developed post viral bronchiole hyper reactivity ( it sound more complicated than it really is). Basically, after a chest infection my bronchioles narrowed down making it pretty difficult to breathe 😬. People often call this the hallmark of asthma which I think is because you can pretty easily develop asthma after this.

Anyway… back to the topic 😂. It’s been pretty difficult to get back to sports as a whole and many other activities. Especially because I’m not the type of person to really admit if I’m finding something difficult or I need my inhaler ( or at least I wasn’t). Which is because I didn’t really want to continue to have problems, so I mostly just ignored it 😂. But then I sort of realised that the only way to get back to normal was to work back to it. ( if that even makes sense?)

So I went back about 1 or 2 months later to a running track… and I had an asthma attack 😬. So I didn’t want to go again. And I haven’t run at that exact track since, or any for that matter, I’m not 100% sure why. But lately I’ve been working towards my running a lot. And I’ve been running basically every day … partly because I’m bored 😂.

And I can’t say that when I start a run I’m completely motivated because usually I’m like… why am I doing this again? But on the last stretch of my run, it feels like an accomplishment. So I don’t run because I just genuinely really love it, I would say I run, and do most other sports because you get a sense of achievement and a great feeling too. Not only that, but when running you can kind of clear your mind and for me I don’t really focus on anything else. This may sound a bit weird, but at first I focus on my breathing and then everything just fades away and… I’m not really thinking about anything 😂.

So yeah😁! I hope you enjoyed my slightly weird, hopefully inspirational thought process. Have a great day or night wherever you are 💕. Do you like running? What sports do you play? Do you enjoy sports, why?
